dell’alloggiamento.
4.
Premere con fermezza il modulo nell’alloggiamento
finché le linguette d’espulsione su entrambi i lati
dell’alloggiamento scattano sulla tacca di montaggio.
Non forzare eccessivamente il modulo DIMM perché quest’ultimo si adatta solamente in una
direzione.
5.
Per rimuovere i moduli DIMM spingere contemporaneamente le due linguette d’espulsione
sull’alloggiamento, poi estrarre il modulo DIMM.
Attenzione: L’elettricità statica può danneggiare i componenti elettronici del computer o delle schede.
Prima di iniziare queste procedure, assicurarsi di avere scaricato completamente l’elettricità statica
toccando brevemente un oggetto metallico con massa a terra.
Connettori, collettori, interruttori ed adattatori
All’interno della copertura di ogni computer ci sono diversi cavi e prese che devo essere collegati. Questi
cavi e prese sono solitamente collegati uno ad uno ai connettori situati sulla scheda madre. E’ necessario
prestare particolare attenzione a qualunque orientamento del collegamento che possono avere i cavi e, se
necessario, notare la posizione del primo pin del connettore. Si installeranno alcuni adattatori per
particolari necessità quali l’adattatore SCSI, AGP, eccetera. Quando si installano gli adattatori sugli slot
della scheda madre, si ricorda di fissarli con le viti anche sul pannello posteriore del telaio.
Per informazioni dettagliate si prega di fare riferimento alla versione integrale del Manuale utente.
Collegamento dei connettori d’alimentazione ai connettori ATX12V
Ricordarsi che è necessario spingere con fermezza fino in fondo il connettore della sorgente
d’alimentazione ATX al connettore ATX12V, assicurando così un buon collegamento.
Impostazione BIOS
Quando l’hardware è stato installato completamente, accendere il computer ed andare alla voce BIOS per
impostare i parametri del processore. Per informazioni dettagliate si prega di fare riferimento alla versione

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
Before the Installation: Turn off the power supply switch (fully turn off the +5V standby power), or
disconnect the power cord before installing or unplugging any connectors or add-on cards. Failing to do
so may cause the motherboard components or add-on cards to malfunction or damaged.
2-1. Install The Motherboard
Most computer chassis have a base with many mounting holes to allow motherboard to be securely
attached on and at the same time, prevented from short circuits. There are two ways to attach the
motherboard to the chassis base:
1. use with studs
2. or use with spacers
In principle, the best way to attach the board is to
use with studs. Only if you are unable to do this
should you attach the board with spacers. Line up
the holes on the board with the mounting holes on
the chassis. If the holes line up and there are
screw holes, you can attach the board with studs.
If the holes line up and there are only slots, you
can only attach with spacers. Take the tip of the
spacers and insert them into the slots. After doing
this to all the slots, you can slide the board into
position aligned with slots. After the board has been positioned, check to make sure everything is OK
before putting the chassis back on.
ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs or spacers if they
are already fastened on the chassis base and are without mounting-holes on the motherboard to align with.
2-2. Install CPU and Heatsink
Note
•
Installing a heatsink and cooling fan is necessary for heat to dissipate from your processor.
Failing to install these items may result in overheating and processor damage.
•
The AMD Socket A processor will produce a lot of heat while operating, so you need to use a
large heat sink that is especially designed for the AMD socket A processor. Otherwise, it may
result in overheating and processor damage.
•
If your processor fan and its power cable are not installed properly, never plug the ATX power
cable into the motherboard. This can prevent possible processor damage.
•
Please refer to your processor installation manual or other documentation with your processor for
detailed installation instructions.

You should check which BIOS file is to be used with your motherboard, don’ flash with the
wrong BIOS file. Otherwise, it may cause system malfunctions.
•
Please do not use the Award flash memory writer version earlier than Version 7.52C to flash the
BIOS. Otherwise, it may cause flash fail or un-anticipated problems.
•
During the updating, the progress will be measured by white blocks. The last four blue blocks of
the flash update process represent the “BIOS boot block”. The BIOS boot block is used to prevent
the BIOS from becoming corrupt during programming. It should not be programmed every time.
If this “BIOS boot block” remains intact when the BIOS becomes corrupt during programming,
then you can boot from a bootable floppy next time you boot your computer. This allows you to
flash your BIOS again without the need for technical support from the dealer.

Appendix G. Hardware Monitoring (The Winbond
Hardware Doctor Utility)
The Winbond Hardware Doctor is a self-diagnostic system for PCs used with Winbond W83627HF
chipset. It protects PC hardware by monitoring several critical items including power supply voltages,
CPU & system fan speeds and CPU and system temperatures. These items are important for the system
operation. Errors may result in permanent damage to the PC. Once any item is out of its normal range, a
warning message pops up reminding you to take proper measures.

Ignore: You can ignore the warning message of
the item, but it will pop up again when an error
of the same item reoccurs.
Disable: The chosen item will be no longer
monitored thereafter, unless you activate it in
the “Configuration” page.
Shutdown: Choosing this button will shutdown
the computer.
Help: You can read more information and
self-diagnose simple problems.
6. Execute the Hardware Doctor by entering
the Windows Menu [Start] [Programs] [Winbond] [Hardware Doctor].
If the warning message pops up due to the
wrong warning limit, you can adjust it in the
“Configuration” option. For example, if you
set the temperature high limit to 40°C, you will
easily exceed the “proper” temperature.
Pay attention to two things when you want to
make any change to the “Configuration” option.
Firstly, you have to make sure your new setting
is in the proper range. Secondly, after you
finished the configuration, you have to save it.
Otherwise, the program will start with the
default value next time.
If you encounter any problem or have any
question about the software settings and
adjustments, please use the Winbond hardware
doctor on-line help. It should give you enough
information to answer your questions.
7. This screen appears. Hardware Doctor
shows you the status of Voltage, Fan Speed, and
Temperature readings as well. If any reading is
critical or over its limitation, the reading turns
red. Also, a pop-up window appears warning
you the system has a problem!

Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?)

Appendix H. Troubleshooting (Need Assistance?)
Q & A:
Q: Do I need to clear the CMOS before I use a new motherboard to assemble my new computer
system?
A: Yes, we highly recommend that you clear the CMOS before installing a new motherboard. Please
move the CMOS jumper from its default 1-2 position to 2-3 for a few seconds, and then back. When
you boot up your system for the first time, follow the instructions in the user's manual to load the
optimized defaults.
Q: If my systems hang when I update the BIOS or set the wrong CPU parameters, what should I
do?
A: Whenever you update the BIOS or if the system hangs due to wrong CPU parameters setting, always
clear CMOS jumper before booting up again.
Q: Why the system failed to boot up and nothing was displayed on the screen after I did some
over-clocking or non-standard settings inside the BIOS? Is the motherboard dead? Do I need to
return it to where I bought from or go through an RMA process?
A: It should not cause hardware or permanent damage to motherboard when BIOS settings were
changed from default to over-clocking or non-standard status.
We suggest the following three troubleshooting methods to discharge CMOS data, recover the
hardware default status, and then make the motherboard working again. No need to bother returning
the motherboard to where you bought from or go through an RMA process.
Step 1. Switch off the power supply unit and then switch it on again after one minute. If there is no
power switch on the power supply unit, disconnect its power cord for one minute and then
connect it back.
Press and hold the <Insert> key on the keyboard, press the power-on button to boot up
system. If it works, loose the <Insert> key and hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page to
do the correct settings.
If the situation remains the same, repeat the procedures in Step 1 for three times, or try Step
2.
Step 2. Switch off the power supply unit or disconnect the power cord. Open the chassis cover.
Locate the CCMOS jumper near the button battery. Change the jumper position from default
1-2 to 2-3 for one minute to discharge the CMOS data, and then put it back to default 1-2
position.
Close the chassis and switch on the power supply unit or plug in the power cord. Press the
power-on button to boot up system. If it works, hit <Del> key to enter the BIOS setup page
to do the correct settings.
If the situation remains the same, try Step 3.
Step 3. The same procedure as Step 2, but in the meantime of discharging the CMOS data, pull out
ATX power connectors from motherboard and remove the button battery during CMOS
discharging.

Q: How can I get a quick response to my request for technical support?
A: Be sure to follow the guidelines as stated in the “Technical Support Form” section of this manual.
If you have a problem during operation, in order to help our technical support personnel quickly
determine the problem with your motherboard and give you the answers you need, before filling in
the technical support form, eliminate any peripheral that is not related to the problem, and indicate it
on the form. Fax this form to your dealer or to the company where you bought the hardware in order
to benefit from our technical support. (You can refer to the examples given below)
Example 1:
With a system including: motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD, VGA
CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, etc. After the system is assembled, if you
cannot boot up, check the key components of the system using the procedure described below. First
remove all interface cards except the VGA card and try to reboot.
If you still cannot boot up: Try installing another brand/model VGA card and see if the system will
start. If it still does not start, note the VGA card model, motherboard model, Bios identification
number, CPU on the technical support form (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in
the problem description space provided.
If you can boot up: Insert the interface cards you have removed back into the system, one by one
and try to start the system each time you insert a card, until the system will not start. Keep the VGA
card and the interface card that caused the problem inserted on the motherboard, remove any other
cards or peripheral, and start again. If you still cannot start, note the information related to both cards
in the add-on Card space provided, and don’t forget to indicate the motherboard model, version,
BIOS identification number, CPU (refer to main instructions), and give a description of the problem.
Example 2:
With a system including the motherboard (with CPU, DRAM, COAST...) HDD, CD-ROM, FDD,
VGA CARD, LAN CARD, MPEG CARD, SCSI CARD, SOUND CARD, after assembly and after
having installed the Sound Card Driver, when you restart the system, when it runs the Sound Card
Driver, it resets automatically. This problem may be due to the Sound Card Driver. During the
Starting DOS… procedure, press SHIFT (BY-PASS) key, to skip CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT; edit CONFIG.SYS with a text editor, and in function the line that loads the
Sound Card Driver, add a remark REM, in order to disable the Sound Card Driver. See the example
below.
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE HIGHSCAN
DOS=HIGH, UMB
FILES=40
BUFFERS=36
REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\PLUGPLAY\DWCFGMG.SYS
LASTDRIVE=Z
Restart the system. If the system starts and does not reset, you can be sure that the problem is due to
the Sound Card Driver. Write down the Sound Card model, motherboard model, BIOS identification
number on the technical support file (refer to main instructions), and describe the problem in the
space provided.
We will show you how to fill the “Technical Support Form”.
